Cloninger, S. (2019). Theories of personality: Understanding persons (7th ed.) Pearson. – ANY EDITION IS FINE
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review all of the illustrative biographies presented in the textbook. Also review sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 in Chapter 1. Pay close attention to table 1.2. Review the feedback given to you by your instructor for the Week 3 assignment (UPLOADED) and contact your instructor if you have any questions.
In Week 3 you chose a famous person (UPLOADED – ADDING 5 PAGES TO THIS PAPER) to use in your illustrative biography and described elements of their life and personality. Now it is time build on that foundation and connect that story to the theories we have studied in this class.
As a reminder, the purpose of this project is to clearly and concisely create an illustrative biography using your chosen person and the theories covered in this course.
Your paper must include the following sections. (use section headers):
Introduction
Identify the subject of the illustrative biography
In the subsequent sections, be detailed in your discussion of how theoretical concepts apply. Which concepts/theories best explain the elements you described in your week three paper. There is no need to explain the theoretical concepts in detail. (You may presume that the reader knows the theories.) Focus on how the theoretical concepts apply to the one person you are trying to understand. Cite specific details from the biography to support your interpretations.
You will continue to use the following sections to organize the paper, but this time you will need a scholarly source to support your theoretical assertions.
Adjustment
Cognition
Culture
Biology
The Illustrative Biography final paper:
Must include citations and references.
Must utilize academic voice.
Must include both an introduction and a conclusion paragraph or slide section. Your introduction paragraph needs to end with a clear thesis statement that indicates the purpose of your paper.
Must use at least 8 scholarly or credible sources in addition to the textbook (adding to theory sources to the three sources you selected in week 3).
Must document any information used from sources in APA Style (7th Edition)
